Safety instructions

Warning!

• Avoid looking directly into the light emitted by the light or shining the light into your own eyes or the eyes of another person. If the light accidentally shines into your eyes, close your eyes and move your head out of the light beam. Do not use any strongly focusing optical device to look at the light beam.
• In cases where the light is used in a public or commercial setting, users should be provided with trai-ning concerning the safety measures for laser light.
• This device may then be used by children 8 years of age or older, persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, as well as persons with no previous experience in handling such devices, if they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety.
• Carry a spare light with you at all times, as the product can potentially fail unexpectedly at any time.

Defects:

• Light source must be replaced in general if the light source (or one of the LEDs) is defective.
• In the event of any physical or internal battery failure, do not attempt to repair.
• No user-servicable parts!

Heat generation:
The housing of SL may heat up; so make sure that you always keep the light at a safe distance to any combustible or flammable materials. Could cause fire or death! However, quiescent operation (without cooling the light housing via airflow or the like) is possible at any time and will not damage the product. Always disconnect the battery from the light at transport or storage!

Water resistance:
All SL components are waterproof and can of course be used under extremely severe conditions. The lamp complies with IP protection class 67 but is NOT a diving lamp and is NOT suitable for use under water.

Cleaning:
Do not use a strong water jet or heavy detergent to clean the lamp.

Assembly Instructions

• The included quick release mount needs to be installed on the left side of the lamp head and on the same side on the stem.
• For proper setup screw on the lever of the quick-release mount.

When mounting the quick release, note the position of the O-rings. One O-ring should be between the holder and the lamphead and the other one between the holder and the screw.
Position the lamp centric at the handlebar. Now close the bracket of the quick release so the SL is mounted tight in its position.

Important: The beam must be at least inclined so that its center is only half as high as 5 m away from the headlamp. For this, it may be necessary to adjust the inclination of the mounts.

Battery mounting

Battery type
The battery is mounted with a velcro as shown here. They also come with a capacity indictaor.

Battery mounting
Your battery is supplied with a velcro strap, coated with an anti-slip material to ensure a secure mount. Use the strap which most closely matches your tube size.

Operation

Turn on
By connecting the battery to the lamphead it turns on automatically. The lamp can also be switched on by a short press on the button of the lamp head. Depending on the ambient light, the SL starts lighting either with low beam or daytime running light. Note: Only in the dark when the low beam is activated, it‘s possible to switch into high beam.

Turn off:
To turn off the lamp, keep the button pressed for about 2 seconds.

Bluetooth remote control:
In order to save battery capacity, the remote connection between the lamp and remote control stays active for only 1 hour when the lamp is switched off (standby) and the lamp can be switched on immediately at any time. After that, the lamp may start with a delay, since the signal is only checked every 10 seconds (represented by
a blue blinking of the remote control). After 25 hours, the connection between the lamphead and the remote control will be completely turned off. The lamphead can then only be activated again via the remote control when the lamphead is reconnected to the battery or switched on using the underneath button of the lamphead.

Light mode:
A brightness sensor automatically switches between daytime running light and low beam.

Daylight

• Small button:
• Switch to low beam (Press again to deactivate, sensor is not active)

Big button:

• Without function

Darkness / Night

• Small button:
  • With a short press: Low beam dims to 5Wc (Not possible when ECO 2 is activated)
  • Keep it pressed for about 2 sec.:cActivate daytime running light (Press again to deactivate, sensor is not active)

Big button

• If low beam is activated, switching to high beam is possible.

Customizing the settings at the lamphead
Keep the small button pressed (let go to select) until the lamp lights up as many times you‘ll need it to. Note: It will take about 6 sec. until the programming starts.

Keep the button pressed (let go to select) until SL lights up| Available settings| Explanation
---|---|---
Lights up 1x| ECO 1| High beam: 16W, Low beam: 8W, Daytime running light: 2W
| |
Lights up 2x| ECO 2| High beam: 10W, Low beam: 5W, Daytime running light: 2W
Lights up 3x| Factory setting| High beam: 25W, Low beam: 8W, Daytime running light: 2W
Lights up 4x| Delay (5 sec / 16 sec.) Factory setting: 16 sec.
Sensor calibration
Only in the assembled state! Improper calibration may greatly affect the functionality of the light! Calibrate only outdoors. No artificial light or close to reflective objects!| The sensor controlled switchover from night- to daytime running light occurs as required in either 5 or 16 sec.
Saves the measured brightness value as a switching point from daytime-to nighttime running light. The successful sensor calibration is confirmed by a short illumination of the daytime running light.
Lights up 5x| Reset to factory settings

Note: The light outputs the maximum amount of light only if airflow lowers the temperature of the light sufficiently. If the light is not cooled by airflow, its power is reduced incrementally to prevent the LEDs and electronic elements from overheating.

Lamphead informations

At the remote

• The „high beam symbol“ of the remote lights blue
• High beam is activated.

Battery warning at the lamphead in operation:

• Lamp lights up 1x: 1. Battery Warning, low capacity remaining.
• Lamp lights up several times: Warning!
• The lamp flashes several times. Stop immediately! The light will be switched off.

Capacity indicator

Audible:
To check the capacity, simply press the touch-pad once. At first an audible signal will sound to give a quick reading in 20% steps.

Visible:
The visible indicator uses 5 blue LEDs. The LEDs can operate in two different operating states: blinking and continuous. LED meanings:
A blinking LED is indicating a 10% step and a continuously glowing LED a 20% step.

Example : 3 LEDs steady glow (20 %, 40 %, 60 %) 1 LED blinking (80 %) = 70 % remaining capacity

Bluetooth remote control

The Bluetooth remote comes together with two Peppi V5 barmounts. On the bike, the best way to mount the remote is directly next to your grips so you have full control and don’t need to take off your hands while riding.

Connecting the transmitter to the light:

• By default, your lamp has already been connected to the transmitter.
• Connecting the transmitter to the light:
• If a new remote control is used, follow the step below:
• For establishing a connection, the receiving mode of the lamp has to be activated.
• After connecting the lamphead to the battery, the lamphead is in receiving mode for 15 seconds.
• During this time, press the remote control’s big button for about 5 seconds, until the remote confirms by lighting up blue. Release the button immediately.

Low button cell:
With decreasing voltage, the remote control LEDs will shine less bright. Also cold temperature does reduce the battery voltage.

Transmitter battery change:

• To change the transmitter button cell a T5 star drive key is needed.
• Insert the new CR 2032 button cell as shown and close the transmitter again.
• Tighten the screws until the blue sealing is visibly squeezed.
• T5 star drive key: (Art.No. 137)

App

Lupine Light Control 3.0 – für IOS und Android
The „Lupine Light Control 3.0“ app offers a variety of setting options, for example, for the dimming levels of low and high beams as well as individual light profiles for different activities. In addition, the sensitivity and delay of the light sensor or the start of the battery warning can be set. Furthermore, the matching battery can be saved in the app, which results in the displayed, expected runtime of the lamp.
A version of the app is also available for selected smartwatches, which makes it possible to operate the lamp, including changing the profile, without a smartphone.

Connecting with app:
To connect to the smartphone, the lamp head must be set to receiving mode, which happens automatically after it is plugged into the battery. The pairing mode then is active for 20 seconds.

Product Care, Storage and Charging

Product Care and Storage

Light:
After use in dirty areas clean the lamp and the cables externally with warm water and some mild detergent. Important! Because of the delicate sealings, we do not recommend to open the lamp.
A leakage in consequence of opening the light is excluded from warranty! Before you try to repair something on your own get in touch with our helpful Service Team.
